DataFest example (part 1: accessing and saving the data) ======================================================== Nicholas Horton, nhorton@amherst.edu, March 26, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------ #### Accessing the data ```{r,eval=TRUE} require(RMySQL) con = dbConnect(MySQL(), user="mth292", host="rucker.smith.edu", password="RememberPi", dbname="airlines") ``` ```{r} ds = dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT DayofMonth, Month, Origin, Dest, ArrDelay FROM ontime WHERE Year=2007 AND Origin='BDL'") save(ds, file="PREPROCESSED") ``` #### Other one-time only data manipulation can be done here. #### Now we can run another R Markdown file to read this in (and save time!)
